Sick dude she's coming along nicely this is one sweet build

Looks great. What spindles are you going to use? I hope you don't use the 94-95 with the mach K member. The rack location is way wrong for those spindles. You'll get a ton of bumpsteer

I am for know I'm getting a bump steer kit. Eventually I'm getting tubular k member and control arms.

Has little to do with a bumpsteer kit. It has to do with the height of the rack. The height of the rack is an inch lower then on the 96-04 K members. That's why you see the tie rod arm dip down. So essentially if you put a bumpsteer kit on it, you will make it worse.

I will check but it didn't look that bad. I will take a pic and post it.

**alex302** · 04-15-2012, 08:34 PM

So this is what I have. With a bumpsteer kit it should bring the arm down even with the rack.

It's getting there man... Looks good

Contrary to popular belief, the tie rod does not have to be parallel to the ground, only parallel to the control arm. However a bumpsteer kit won't fix the differences in 95 spindles on a 96+ K member and rack. That is a structural height difference. Unless you move the pivot point of the control arms up as well, there is no way to get around it. Just an FYI. Go to maximum motorsports and read all about it if you'd like. I had no idea until I read theirs and a few others articles.

Thanks for the info I will look into it.

Thank you!!they will help. I talked to MM and PA racing about some k-members and control arms and they both recommend 96+ spindles.

Finished the wiring and connected the battery everything looks to be good, dash and all lights came on so far so good.

Also got some new parts.
New stifflers trans crossmember that will work with the longer 3650.

Looking good man! Now cam that ***** before you go any further!

**dutch** · 04-25-2012, 06:19 PM

awesome stuff man! But don't use 95 spindles! Maximum Motorsports explains why on their website.. you can't solve that with bumpsteerkit, get the 96+ spindles.
